(PRESS RELEASE) NORWALK, CT – JCK announced an addition to their 2019 move to the Venetian/Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas. At the request of its buyers, JCK will expand and offer a new International Gemstone neighborhood that will be home to gemstone suppliers from around the world. This unique offering opens up JCK’s marketplace to allow buyers the opportunity to source directly from both domestic and international gemstone dealers. This new neighborhood will be located alongside JCK in the Sands Expo and Convention Center and allow for suppliers to have a five-day exhibiting presence. It will run June 1-5, 2019, opening one day before JCK, which will take place June 2-5, 2019.
“Adding an international presence for gemstone suppliers offers a unique, unrivaled opportunity for our vast audience of 20,000+ domestic and global buyers,” said Yancy Weinrich, senior vice president of JCK. “With the move back to the Sands Expo and Convention Center we have the opportunity to offer new experiences and features in an upscale, more buyer-friendly environment. We are building our 2019 event together with the industry to deliver a marketplace that will be customizable and addresses the challenges buyers face in today’s market. For our exhibiting customers, our mission continues to be about delivering qualified buyers to JCK by expanding our reach into new markets with new partnerships and strategic initiatives designed to increase buying on our show floor.”
